So, are there any Photoshop effects that can be used to up the quality of textures?

[Tablecloth]

I'm a new user and I want to start retexturing games like Banjo Kazooie because I love the game but I hate the fact that it hurts my eyes. So, can Photoshop filter the blurriness out of some textures? Thanks.

Not really. You will have to make the resolution higher and then clean it up.

 

[Tablecloth]

How do I make the resolution higher besides just remaking the entire texture?

 

[Datadayne]

I use phototshop 9. Yours might work dofferent is you use something else.

Image>image size then on the bottom it shows a resolution of 72. Change the resolution 2x 3x or 4x.

eg. 72 4x = 288.

 

[Tablecloth]

Doesn't that just make it bigger?

 

[Datadayne]

Yes, it does. Thats what you want to do.

 

[Tablecloth]

Where exactly do dumped textures go?

 

[Datadayne]

textures are dumped in a folder called texture_dump. That folder is located in the emulator's plugin folder.

If you want to load the textures, put the retextured textures in a folder called hires_texture, it should be in the same folder as texture_dump is. Inside the hires_texture folder, you will need to put the name of your game, make sure the name is the same as the name in the texture_dump folder.

I checked dump textures on Rice, and they dump, but there is no texture_dump folder.

 

[Datadayne]

There is. Your not looking in the correct place. What do you use? pj64 or 1964.
If you use pj64 it is locate like this. project64 1.6>plugins>texture dump>(the name of the game).

 

[Tablecloth]

It says finding dumpped textures on the bottom of PJ64, but it still won't dump textures, in either OoT or Star Fox. D:

 

[Tablecloth]

I'll even watch it dump but there are no dumped textures in the PJ64 plug-in folder. -_-

 

[Datadayne]

try creating the folder manually.

 

[Tablecloth]

I got it. Where are all the icon textures in OoT? Also, why are their three folders with the same files in them?

 

[Datadayne]

You can only retexture the last three folders. The others will not load.

Where are all the icon textures in OoT?

It sometimes takes time to dump.

 

[Tablecloth]

Do I have to play the entire game to acquire ALL the textures? I only did the dump at the title screen. How long does OoT take to dump, on average?

 

[DDRPIP]

what you play is dumped... we have a STICKY with a whole tutorial and guide, it was just put up there maybe 2~3 weeks ago. use that for your information~.

 

[Tablecloth]

Thanks, DDRRIP. It helped alot. I have another question. Do I have to go to every area in a game and dump the textures there to get them all?

 

[Xenobond]

Yes. The textures get dumped as they get loaded. And they get loaded whenever you enter an area/room.

 

[Tablecloth]

Thanks. Also, how do I reload the textures I edit from my dump? Do I just do hires_textures/Mario 64/Courtyard or similiar?
